TOPICS find COMMENT.
WHEN a Democratic editor hears them
grinding coffee, next door, he has in his
paper next day, ‘‘Another mill started
up.”—Philadelphia Press.
DemocraTIC orators cried hard times
and general ruin throughout a whole
summer of prosperity and them-
selves to every crazy financial fad and
ism, and did their best, or worst, to shake
the confidence of the people, and that
was shrewd political strategy. But now
hard times have come indeed. The cur-
rency question has something to do with
that, but that which is of most import-
lent
ance is the uncertainty as to the basis
upon which manufactures are to go on.
Therefore you may depend upon it, that
until the question is settled, until men
know the terms on which they are to
compete with foreign competitors,
loom will be in motion more than is nec-
essary, and no wheel will turn except
with the prospect of immediate profit.
This may strike a reasonable man as a
sensible truth, but according certain
would-be directors of public sentiment, it
is inexcusable partisanship. They can-
not say itis not true, but they think to
keep the people from finding it out.—

Do nor let it be forgotten that a little
over four years ago Grover Cleveland
turned the government over to Mr. Har-
rison in a condition so prosperous that
one could see disaster ahead. But
what a legacy of bankruptcy did Mr.
Harrison leave to his successor! If the
condition of the country is the fault of
Democratic rule, why did not four years
of it plunge it into the very depths of
woe? Answer us, will you, howlers of
calamity ?—Somerset Vedette.
As a sample of genuine rot,

For four long years they

to Mr. Harrison, did he?
And it was in a prosperous condi-
tion when he turned it over, was it?
That is still more remarkable. Now if
Mr. Cleveland turned over the govern-
ment to Mr. Harrison, four years ago,
according to the Vedette's statement, the
country must have been governed by Mr.
Cleveland, and Mr. Cleveland must have
all the credit for the prosperous condition
the country was in at that time. That is
the impression that the Vedette evidently
wants to make upon its readers, but it
ought to know better than to make use
of such baby talk. Any 12-year-old
school boy could successfully answer all
the Vedette’s supposed arguments and
not half try. The fact of the matter is
the Democrats have never been in power
since the war, until the present adminis-
tration took hold of the government. It
is true, however, that Grover Cleveland
was elected President in 1884 and that he
served during four prosperous years of
the country’s history. But what of that?
What had he to do with the country’s
prosperity? The Vedette forgot to men-
tion that daring those four vears the
United States Senate was Republican and
stood in the way of Democratic devil-
When the Mills bill and other
iniquitous Democratic measures were to
pass the Senate, the Republicans were in
the majority in that body and

ment,
“knocked
all such ruinous legislation into a cocked
hat.” And thus was the country
even though a Democratic President
warmed the chair. About all Cleveland
could do during his first term was to veto
pension bills,
saved,
and not being content with
insulting the maimed veterans of war in
that way, be also wanted the Rebel flags
returned that were captured in war.
But the latter scheme wouldn't work,
much to the President's sorrow. The
Democrats did not run the country dur-
ing those four years. In fact they had
little to do with running the machine.
and that is why the country remained
just as prosperous as it was when Mr.
Arthur left the Presidential chair. The
Vedette evidently thinks that the Presi-
dent makes the laws, or else it takes it
for granted that its readers are wofully
ignorant.
“But what a legacy did Mr. Harrison
leave to his successor!” remarks this same
Vedette. Well, it is universally conceded
that Harrison's administration was one
of the most prosperous that the country
ever knew. Never before was labor bet-
ter paid, and never before would a dol”
lar buy so much as daring Mr. Harrison's
administration. Confidence was univer-
sal and the country’s prosperity was on a
basis as solid as the rock-ribbed range of
the Rocky mountains. The thousands
of factories and workshops were running
to their fullest capacity and the wheels
and spindles thereof rumbled constantly,
day and night. “And things wonld have
remained that way. but the people could
not stand prosperity and they voted for
a change.
“And they got it,
Yes, they got it.
They got it good and strong.”
Bat the Vedette says: “If the condi-
tion of the country is the fault of Demo-
cratic rule, why did not four years of ir
plunge it into the very depths of woe?
We answered that by
showing that the Democrats did not rule
during Cleveland's first administration.
They couldn’t, on account of a Republi-
can Senate being in the way. Do

Oh, twas a glorious sight to see, some thirty
years ago,
When two million freemen marched awav to
face their country’s foe.
From East to West throughout the North they
went at Lincoln's call
To rally for the Union and for it fight and fall.
Mid comrades’ cheers and mothers’ tears they
gayly marched away,
And left behind their loved ones all to wait and
hope and pray.
